There are many reasons for having exposure to international shares but one of the most compelling is to access powerful global megatrends. These trends will have a fundamental and lasting impact on the global economy, regardless of what happens in the short term. They provide tailwinds to investments which helps to generate the potential for strong gains and complements a domestic Australian equity portfolio. Examples will be centered around opportunities in global healthcare, the digital economy and the fast growth in consumerism in emerging markets.
The challenge is to find profitable ways of accessing these trends and examples of individual companies will be provided. Insync believe that the best way an Australia investor can access these trends is through investing in global titans which are highly profitable industry leaders, generating strong cash flows and have a history of looking after shareholders through increasing dividends and/or buybacks.
